- the bandpass filter 137 By means of the bandpass filter 137, erroneous measurements due to a too large bandwidth can be excluded.
- the bandwidth depends on the optical components used and results from the intensity characteristic of the first light source, the transmission characteristic of the measuring chamber and the optionally existing beam splitter and the sensitivity characteristic of the first photoelectrode.
- the light intensities detected by the first, second and third photodiodes 123, 126 and 129 and by the reference photodiode 131 are converted in a manner known per se into corresponding electrical signals, which are subsequently connected in measuring amplifiers 124, 127, 130 and 132, which are connected downstream of the photodiodes , amplified and fed via signal connections (k) of the control and evaluation device 112 for the further measurement data evaluation.

- water sample in the present example is wastewater
- cleaning fluid in the present example is wastewater
- the measuring chamber 121 is pre-rinsed with the cleaning liquid.
- the cleaning liquid from the cleaning container 109 is conducted via the supply line 101 into the measuring chamber 121 of the measuring device 104 at corresponding valve positions of the suction valve 107 and the backwash valve 108 and from there via the discharge line 105 into the water line 102.
- reference measurements zero measurements at the wavelengths 254 nm, 550 nm and optionally at 436 nm are carried out for calibration by means of the first, second and third optical sensors 104a, 104b, 104c.
- the reference measurement with the cleaning fluid can also compensate for temperature influences.
- the cleaning liquid thus serves simultaneously as a reference liquid, which is preferably optically pure Water acts.

- the measurement of the optical properties in cleaning liquid or in waste water with the third sensor 104c at a wavelength of 436 nm for the determination of the DOC is optional. If the water sample to be examined is drinking or groundwater, the DOC can also be used to draw conclusions about the coloration / humic substance load.
- the reference intensity of the UV-LED 122 of the first optical sensor is additionally measured with the reference photodiode 131 to compensate for variations in the intensity of the UV-LED 122.
- the reference measurement in cleaning fluid and the measurement of the wastewater sample is usually carried out by cyclic scanning of the individual photodiodes. For example, a total of 256 cycles are performed and the measured values are averaged. The measuring time amounts to a total of about 1 second. The result is an integer value of 0 - 1000, which represents the light intensity.

- it can also be used for photometric monitoring of drinking water parameters, with drinking water measuring at a wavelength of 550 nm can be omitted, since drinking water usually has no undissolved constituents.
- the corresponding sensors 104a, 104b, 104c can be independently controlled / activated by the control and evaluation device 112 depending on the water sample to be examined (for example waste water, drinking water).
- the measuring chamber 112 of the measuring device 104 and the lines 101, 105 are rinsed with cleaning liquid and cleaned to eliminate impurities and counter biofilm formation.
- the valve positions of the intake valve 107 and the backwash valve 108 correspond to those of the Fig. 4 ,
- the cleaning liquid passed through corresponding valve position of the backwash valve 108 in the backwash line 110 and further into the supply line 101.
- the section of the supply line 101 which lies upstream of the intake valve 107, ie substantially between the intake valve 107 and the water line 102, is therefore flushed with cleaning fluid in a flow direction opposite to the flow direction of the withdrawn water sample (cf. Fig. 5 ) cleaned.
- Fig. 8 shows a flowchart of the in the Fig. 4 to 7 described measuring sequence including menu structure for the command input and with reference to the in Fig. 1 illustrated keypad 118.
